#1 Authorities shot and killed a tiger Wednesday that had been roaming for days in the hills near the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library

Jimmy Carter probably had some friends plant this cat to scare off tourists. He is still bitter over 1980.

#2 The cat was shot several hundred yards from school soccer and baseball fields at the edge of a housing development

He needed a wash and blow dry, now he's dead, thanks morons.

#4 Who ever owned the cat probably had an illegal pet!
The owner may have lost his home in all the rain/mud slides and let the cat go hoping someone would take care of the cat?? like so many do with stray animals...leave them off in the woods, dead end street etc. That is my guess. I don't think they had to kill the cat- super tranq it.

#5 Well, they sure could have used tranquilizers. What a bunch of bunk. Some people . . .

#6 Right. Let's second guess the guys on the scene.

It was shot near a school.

Who wants to be the one in the wrongful death suit deposition explaining the value you placed on the life of the deceased when you decided to use a tranq instead of a real bullet?

#7 Not to mention that "super tranqing" often leads to death by respiratory depression.

#8 Correct- there are a number of factor's and ways to look at the problem. I did see the cat on tonight's
6 p.m. evening news it was a "purty Cat" as tweety bird would say. Maybe Ray Horn could have assisted** Ithink you know what I mean!
